  • Emerald Pools Traverse; Cathedral Mountain, Iron Curtain
    AAC Publications Emerald Pools Traverse; Cathedral Mountain, Iron Curtain Zion National Park The idea for this adventure came while doing the second ascent of Castle Dome with Courtney Purcell and Aron Ralston in 2015. We were near the top of Castle Dome, looking over at Lady Mountain and Cliff Dwelling Mountain when I suggested it. Looking at the face one needs to climb to get out of the canyons, they said, “It can’t be done.” That inspired me. From August 14-16, I did a solo (with rope) traverse of the formations that surround the Emerald Pools. I started down Behunin Canyon, exiting the canyon to climb our Castle Dome route from 2015. I rappelled the north corner of Castle Dome and did what I believe is the first descent of Castle Dome Canyon between Castle Dome and Castle Dome Ridge. At the bottom of Castle Dome Canyon I made two blind rappels into the Gunsight Start for Heaps Canyon, something that scared me since I didn’t know how much water was in the canyon. I did not carry a drill and had only one rope. From Cross Roads in Heaps Canyon I climbed the north face of Cliff Dwelling Mountain for its second known ascent. The first ascent was done on the southeast side when Ron Raimonde and I did a traverse of the Court of the Patriarchs in 1999. From the summit I rappelled into the notch between it and the west face of Lady of the Cliff, down the route Buzz Burrell and Jared Campbell tried on their attempt to repeat the traverse of the Court of the Patriarchs.
